SO, you want to network but don't know where to begin. 1. DON'T. Make friends instead 2. It's not about what they can do for you 3. Famous people are just people first 4. If you do have to gush, don't just say 'i love your work' , pick one thing and say why. Open ended compliments are awkward

@gabrielurbina.com Congrats on making The 20 Most Essential Podcasts of 2025 together with Lauren! Well deserved highlight for the both of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

idk man I don't care if you watch it, but it's insane to me that every 3-6 months we all huddle around to watch Keighley's vision of a medium that is so sterile, so stagnant, so soulless compared to the medium I exist in and love. Games are so fucking cool right now and you would never know.

The Game Awards are losing their luster

Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out! Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪

Really enjoying this series of The Silt Verses RPG, featuring two actors from the show and a custom scenario! Be sure to check it out 👁️

Devs were only allowed a few (I believe two) tickets per nomination before Geoff charged them. Resale tickets were in the hundreds. And we all know what happened to Future Class (if you don’t, read my piece).

I really enjoyed my first ever game of The Silt Verses ran by the great @merelymatt.bsky.social for Merely Roleplayers! This scenario was so much fun and both @sassylich.bsky.social and Marta were a delight to play with! ♥️ hope to do so again soon! pod.link/1301999708

I’m not sure there is better written horror/fantasy podcast than THE SILT VERSES if you haven’t listened do yourself a favor and become a disciple www.thesiltverses.com

Here for some The Silt Verses praise! It beautifully written, wonderfully acted by an incredible voice cast, and I want more people to fall in love with it! Planning to write a thing about the archival themes in a world of gods and monsters...eventually. The river rises!

And with today's episode, Merely Roleplayers' winter holiday in the world of The Silt Verses comes to an end. Banish hesitation and march through all three acts now.

My latest Substack…

The Game Awards are not the Oscars of video games. The Oscars miss constantly but at least they are a bona fide attempt by an industry to legitimize and promote itself; TGA is not that, it's just ads for individual products masquerading as an awards show run by one guy's particular preferences.

This episode written (and recreated by @paulkerensa.bsky.social) directed and edited by me, all put together in just over a week! Have a listen, it’s lots of fun.

Our fab cast: Sir Alfred Robbins - @adrianmackinder.bsky.social Cecil Lewis - @willvoice.it Lady Tree - @helenlloyd.bsky.social Zena Dare - @nattychisholm.bsky.social Phyllis Twigg - Carina Saner, playing her own great-grandmother! Dorothy Warren - @martadasilva.bsky.social ...

Class of 2022 here. I don’t know what is the most infuriating thing abt this article but this one stings me the most. You try so hard to get recognised in the industry which you kinda do and then it suddenly ceases to exist. What’s the point in the end? 🫠

It's Merely Tuesday, and time for the middle act of It Feeds on Fire, Merely Roleplayers' actual play of The Silt Verses RPG. Here's B. Narr (The Silt Verses' Faulkner) as Jasper Finch, being both a lil guy and a good egg.

I would love to see this show funded! Most audio dramas - including mine - are made on shoestring budgets. Audio drama (in its current form) is a young industry: let's set a precedent for paying people well for their work, whilst it's in our hands to shape what this industry will grow into.

All gods must feed. Who decides who to feed to them? Explore a new corner of The Silt Verses, with some familiar voices in unfamiliar guises. Act 1 of 3 out today. Happy Halloweek! www.foggyoutline.com/merelyrolepl...

I do like it when serendipitous things happen. When an actual play podcast does an episode on a system I'm interested in and the players are the voice actors in the audio drama the system is based on. Merely Roleplayers and The Silt Verses.

The Silt Verses RPG Assignment we're playing in the current Merely Roleplayers production is now available for you to play with your own game group: merelymatt.itch.io/stoneshackle

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I did some of the UI for this! Go check it out, the animation is ~sick~

Best news to get on hump-day? We’re nominated for another cool award! Thank you to the Hollywood Creative Alliance and @theastraawards.bsky.social for the honour! 🙏🏻🎉 #audiofiction #scripted #podcast #TheAstras

I know I know. I’m lurking in the background m, I promise. And I now remember to check what’s going on here on an ~almost~ weekly basis. That’s an improvement no? 😅 Here’s a nice photo to make up for my absence ✌🏻

Gutted I couldn’t go up to the #EdFringe this year to watch some fab theatre and support my fellow thespians, but we genuinely couldn’t find accommodation within our budget (and a reasonable distance to the venues we were most interested in). And we started looking late last year! Mental 🥲 2026 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I made it! I’m finally on BlueSky! Are y’all proud of me??? Please bare with me as I make it through a LONG backlog of follow request and friend adds. And don’t expect massive amounts of posts on here, it’ll take me a while to get used to yet another SM platform 😮‍💨 ♥️♥️♥️✌🏻
